In November, 2020, Cal Catholic reported that San Jose’s Bishop Oscar Cantu gave his blessing to the appointment of a pro-abortion president of Archbishop Mitty High School.
Now comes word from a Cal Catholic reader that the high school has other problems:
– The school’s Resources for Anti-Racism contain a section on Gender Fluidity.
– The school hired Gender Spectrum to provide training for its employees on “gender issues.” This organization promotes gender confusion in children. Gender Spectrum has an annual conference at St. Mary’s in Moraga. The main sponsors are Align Surgical, “gender affirming” plastic surgeons.
– Race and gender training was scheduled for February of this year, according to minutes of a meeting which Latanya Hilton (that time incoming president) and Ms. Caputo (current principal) attended
– The hiring of head librarian Tiffani Lewis-Lockhart, who maintains raw Twitter and Tumblr accounts (“Nympho Librarian,” “wanting to f_ Jesus”)
The Cal Catholic reader has contacted the board of Mitty High, Bishop Cantu, and all San Jose diocese priests – with no results so far.
What’s happening at Mitty is a disgrace, and it keeps getting worse. I graduated from Mitty and for a while now this school has stopped following/teaching true, authentic Catholic teaching. This school needs either major reform or they need to stop being associated with the Catholic Church. Most importantly, we need better, stronger leadership in the church starting from the top. God Bless!
Bp. Cantu needs to go. As does Superintendent Beltramo. Walking liabilities for our Dioceses.
Anonymous, I agree. What is Bishop Cantu’ thinking? Maybe he’s a caution against appointing Bishops who are too young. True, they may have doctorates up the kazoo and can think abstractly with the best of them. But do they have the common sense and determination to make real world decisions, if their young adult years were confined to a seminary and/or academic environment? Rather than look for “whiz kids” [recall Robert McNamara’s judgment re Vietnam?], maybe Rome should prefer 50-55 year old successful pastors who are well versed in Church teaching but also connect well with their priests. Just a suggestion. Nothing personal intended.
Maybe I taught you. I was one of the solidly Catholic teachers.
I used to teach at that school. The school was a complete, utter joke of a Catholic school then, and it’s obviously gotten far worse over the past twenty years. The religion department should have been retitled the Department of Secularist and Leftist Propaganda and Indoctrination. If Bishop Cantu were honest, he’d sell off the school and let it be private. Believe me, 95% of the faculty, students and parents would be happy to be rid of the need to give lip service to being a religiously affiliated school, to have perfunctory prayer services, and to attend “religion classes” that mostly push social justice concepts and routinely teach that Catholic doctrine is wrong except where it coincides with leftist ideology. I don’t see how Latanya is qualified to advance the school’s mission of Catholic education, properly understood.
Like it or not, parents are consumers. Vote with your wallet. Hire some orthodox teachers, develop a cirriculum which will gain accreditation, and rent necessary space. Then, when you withdraw your student from Mitty, tell the Bishop why.
The children are in danger! How can a Catholic institution, especially in today’s trying times, hire and support educators and administrators who have actively and openly shared perverse, anti-Catholic stances on the sexuality of young adults. Nympho librarian….students at Archbishop Mitty have been expelled for much less explicit and inappropriate social media content. Recently a student was expelled for posting pictures of her body as part of her fitness-related Instagram page, and the school cited its status as a Catholic institution in this decision. Archbishop Mitty must apply the same, if not stricter criteria, to EDUCATORS who are indebted with the health and well-being of our young adults. Nympho librarian needs to be fired immediately. Not to mention the openly pro-abortion, pro-Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, pro-Gender Spectrum, Latanya Hilton. This issue goes beyond politics, administrative incompetence or apathetic leaders…the hiring and support of these ill-suited Diocesan employees is endangering our youth. Absolutely unacceptable.
But the dirty secret at Mitty is that students of color weren’t and aren’t disciplined with the same fervor. A couple students of color stole merchandise in a foreign country on a summer trip. They were detained by police in that country and it was a scary thing for them and a huge ordeal for the chaperones and the student group. The students faced no discipline from the school.
Oh, gosh, I can’t believe someone else remembers that. I was a student at the time and heard about it. It was a trip to South Africa.
This will give you a sense of Bishop Cantu’s priorities. From his diocesan webpage, he has issued the following recent statements:
May 26: statement on the VTA light rail shooting
April 21: statement on the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial
March 31: statement on Caesar Chavez Day
March 29: Easter message
March 29: statement in support of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
A statement for Caesar Chavez Day but not for Memorial Day?
No statement about Eucharistic coherence, as other bishops in California have made?
No statement about Biden’s recent executive actions contrary to pro-life?
You see, dear readers, Bishop Cantu is a left-wing political man with obvious secular race-consciousness, not a Catholic leader.
Don’t expect him to do anything about Mitty. The headline asks does he care? No, he apparently doesn’t. Mitty is going straight down the highway in support of every left wing cause at high speed, Catholicism be damned.
Agreed. But how many of you keep complaining here and does not email the bishop to tell him how you feel? I let him know about his strange opinions about the George Floyd, January 6th, and others at the same time he has been quite about blessing homosexual couples, communion to Biden, and Dr. Cody non-sense religious rules. I strong believe if more people take your opinion from here to him we will start seeing some changes.
I have written to the contact email, which is the bishop’s assistant. But I never get a reply. Just like the person who this story says has written to the bishop to Mitty’s board of directors and to priests, and nothing has come of it. They don’t think they are accountable. They do what they want and consider themselves above us.
Blame for this lies with former Bishop McGrath, former Superintendent Marian Stuckey, and former Principal/President Tim Brosnan. They charted the course for Mitty’s deterioration going back decades ago and deliberately cultivated the current school culture. Of course, the current bishop and administrators are of the same mindset, but they are perpetuating something they inherited instead of causing it in the first place.
Perform an exorcism, close it down, sell the property. Done.
Latanya is a hot mess. I’ve seen some more troubling material (shared by a local priest)… School has a “Nympho President” problem too…
Don’t forget to burn it and salt the earth
Our Church and country are nearly dead, intellectually, morally and spiritually. Bishop– typical of the post-Conciliar era. Doesn’t care at all about the Catholic Church, his parishes, priests, schools and organizations, or Catholic parents and children.
It’s like God isn’t there. How much of this do we have to take? People entrusted with the churches institutions who are negligent and worse. So depressing…
from what i’ve heard the bishop has nothing to do with the operation of the school. it’s entirely a lay run thing.
“Nothing” isn’t accurate. The Bishop appoints the President and Principal. We saw what kind of job he did with that… Bishop Cantu appears to be unable to properly delegate or perform due diligence, as a competent administrator would. In the Diocese of Las Cruces, Bishop Cantu failed at turning over pedophile priest files to the civil authorities. Presumably, he delegated the task to the wrong person, unless he was covering for another priest, which seems unlikely. After all this, Bishop Cantu “fails up” with a promotion to the most challenging Diocese in the country, one led (using this word loosely) for a quarter of a decade by Bishop Patrick (PJ) McGrath, the country’s most useless prelate.
Excuse me, “decade” should be “century”
Nothing will come of it. Look, Catholic schools are notorious. Look at the nun who is now pleading guilty for embezzling over $800k from a Catholic school she was principal of. She essentially got away with it. She’s not going to pay the money back, and she’s so old now that she’s not going to go to jail. Catholic schools are mostly fake where people with ambition ensconce themselves in high-level positions and do whatever they want. Yes, that’s the way it is and the bishops really don’t care.
I am out of the demographic now but I would not let me kids attend this school.
Prefer pirate school for me kids
Funny
As far as gender fluidity goes, most of us are born with xx or xy chromosomes which determine our sexual identity. There are those who have different X and y chromosome combinations and the result is often inner sexual identity does not correspond with the physical attributes of their inner identity. As God created them do not believe Gid has a problem with those seeking to have surgery to get their physical self in alignment with their inner biology. Please study the science behind a transgender identity before rushing to judgement. First met transgender folks 40+ years ago. 4 in rapid succession back then each under very different circumstances but took the time to listen to each share their story. In an attempt to understand started following the science (not as easy then without the internet.) God created all of us, why the chromosomal variations I do not know but God created them.
Out of touch boomer, no one is talking about hermaphrodites…
You should apply for a teaching job at Mitty High School. You’re just what they’re looking for. Maybe even be the principal or director of campus ministry.
No, Mike. Those people are victims of a psychological illness called “Gender Dysphoria.” The Catholic Church forbids chopping up and destroying parts of the body, especially as related to sexuality and procreation– that ‘s a sin. Sufferers of Gender Dysphoria need psychological help. They need to adjust their sense of reality, and learn to accept themselves and live as God created them, and figure out how to comfortably adjust to reality. We all are unique and different from one another, anyway, and we all have to adjust to life realistically, and get comfortable with ourselves, and live happily.
I always think of that, when volunteering to help young kids of all different ages, shapes and all sizes, all different races, all different cultures and backgrounds. And besides those that fit nicely into a category of “normalcy”– you will have perhaps one or two who are dyslexic, or autistic, hearing-impaired, on crutches, diabetic, asthmatic, or whatever. All delightful kids. How can you help them with different kinds of adjustments, so that they are comfortable, and ready to do something fun? How about even one child shorter, and another child taller, and you only have chairs of one size? Figure it out, and you’re all set. That kind of stuff, you have to live with, lifelong. Life is short, and it isn’t perfect, only Heaven is perfect.
Guys, this is beyond Catholic issues. This is pure smut!! No kids should be in this house of ill repute. What are schools doing to our kids?
I read this stuff and cringe. Honestly, without my faith and all the great friends and priests in my life who are teaching/leading orthodox Catholic lives, I wouldn’t be able to survive this rot.
And good solid priests like Fr. Altman get disciplined and asked to resign. What an insane world!
Yes, those immoral, sick freaks are straight from the red light district– peddling pure smut. Not education. The cops ought to raid that school, and all the others doing the same things– and close them all down, and throw all the filthy red light district smut-peddlers in jail.
I read an article today, all about a young Black University of Alabama political science student named CJ Pearson, who is President of the conservative non-profit organization, Free Thinkers Project. Their goal is to eradicate Critical Race Theory in higher education, nationwide. They are online at http://www.freethinkerproject.org.
Hope they are blessed with lots of success! They are being interviewed and talked about, in major news sources. I wish college-age kids would come up with a powerful and strong group to overturn the horribly destructive, filthy, sinful “hippie sexual revolution,” dope, and rock “music”– burn every last trace of it out of existence! That has been my dream since the 1960s, watching it all “hatch,” exploding like horrifically stinking, filthy, rotten eggs, never meant by God to exist! The sick, leftist anti-Catholic, immoral leaders of Mitty High School all belong in the filthy, abominable “red light district,” and ought to be run out of town!
President Latanya is friends with Fr. Kevin O’Brien SJ and a darling of Santa Clara University. Birds of a feather infiltrate Catholic schools together.
They are “hosting” another “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a local public library branch, this summer, in the children’s section. Many filthy “Drag Queens” who perform at the “Drag Queen Story Hours,” are previously convicted pedophiles. So, I went and gave them my complaint– asking the Holy Spirit to please give me a few choice words to complain politely and properly. There are some nice librarians who agree with me, so that makes registering my complaints easier. The nice ones that I know, also re-arrange their work schedules, so they do not have to work during offensive events. They worry about their own children, too, with all of the dangerous, offensive filth in today’s world. Many are also from foreign countries– and are shocked and amazed by the extreme immorality and filth in America– and no one seems to care.
After reading through all the previous comments, I almost thought it a waste of time to even share my very different opinion on this matter, but I believe it’s important to bring a different perspective. Archbishop Mitty High School is so much more than anyone here is giving them credit for. As a graduate from this high school, and a product of the Diocese of San Jose, I can confidently share that I am beyond proud of everything this high school stands for. I truly believe that this institution is true to their mission statement through and through.
“Archbishop Mitty High School is the Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school of the Diocese of San Jose. The School embraces the Catholic educational mission of developing community, teaching the Gospel message, and promoting service, peace, and justice. Through its rigorous academic program, the School prepares students for college and for responsible leadership in a global society. At the same time, the School works diligently alongside parents to foster the personal, academic, and spiritual development of each student. Recognizing that each individual is created in the image and likeness of God, the School celebrates and affirms its diverse cultural community while developing students who are intellectually competent, just, faith-filled, respectful leaders.”
Throughout my four years of classes and various activities at Mitty, they make a point to enrich ones catholic identity as well as help one find a way to stand firm in their faith and beliefs. No school is perfect, but Mitty does a wonderful job of preparing students for what to expect in the real world outside of their catholic bubble, so they know how to carry themselves in any situation. What most of my fellow commenters here may not like to hear is that our world is ever changing. However, as Catholics, we are taught to love one another as Christ has loved us. That is exactly what this school stands for and preaches in multiple ways to all who are willing to hear. I am so thankful for my experiences at this school and am proud of who I am today because of the values I gained from this invaluable institution.
As for Bishop Cantu, Superintendent Beltramo, and Latanya Hilton, they are all children of God that have been blessed with a vision to enrich and grow the Diocese of San Jose in this ever changing world for the better. They are giving their community the resources needed to feel comfortable and supported in a society that does not make them feel welcome. Thank you so much for all you are doing for the youth of our future. You are appreciated, supported, and loved.
Misty, respectfully, what you were taught at Mitty that Catholicism is, isn’t what Catholicism is. One example suffices. Mitty endorses and teaches support for same-sex marriage. That is contrary to Catholicism. Case closed. Catholics cannot and never will support same-sex marriage. You were probably taught by Mr. Herrera or Mr. Kroenung, or Mrs. Matusich or Mrs. Walker or Mr. Scott or Howie that the Church will change its teaching and that it’s okay and progressive to accept same sex marriage now because that’s what “smart” and “educated” and “progressive” and “compassionate” people do in the “backwards” church. They’re all wrong and they misinformed their students. Did you have any teachers at all who said that same sex marriage is wrong and Catholics must oppose it even if the culture accepts it? That’s just one example, but it’s the most clear as applies to Mitty. You were fed leftist ideology about “luv” and acceptance with some Jesus talk sprinkled in, and you mistakenly believe that’s what Catholicism is. Real Catholics, Catholics who understand Catholic faith and are committed to it, are persecuted at Mitty by being pressured to be silent, be “tolerant” and to conform to the school’s staunchly liberal, leftist ideology.
The “real world outside their catholic bubble”… Misty, thanks for revealing and demonstrating the existential problem of the schools dying Catholic identity. Especially amongst the drivel you wrote, probably as a cheap PR ploy by the school, your use of that phrase is revealing. I am an alumni too. The Faith is watered down by the school and the religion teachers exactly because of that sentiment. No one takes the Faith seriously, although there is a tabernacle, no one takes the Real Presence seriously. There need to be changes, not the type of change Latanya would bring. I doubt Latanya knows even the basics of our Faith, and it’s apparent you don’t either. Bishop Cantu and Beltramo do, that’s why this falls on them and is their failure. Both should resign.
Another alum here. I’ll second that: everyone is allowed to receive Communion, whether Catholic or not. There is no effort to discourage non-Catholics from receiving Communion at school Masses. The rock band that provides the music is terrible, too. They sing secular songs and try to say they have a religious meaning so they’re good to sing at Mass. The adults there might understand Catholicism, but if so they deliberately distort and obfuscate it for the kids, and as a result the students don’t know what Catholicism really is. They think it’s the sort of psychologically affirming, relativistic group therapy drivel that Misty wrote about.
“A product of the Diocese of San Jose”… definitely not Catholic. I think I know exactly which Board of Regents lackey wrote this.
Misty, appreciate your perspective and am glad to hear you had a good experience at Mitty. I am an alumni myself and similarly had a good experience at Mitty, much the same way I would have had a good experience at Harker or any other secular private school. However, Archbishop Mitty cannot reasonably be called a “catholic bubble,” and the purpose of Catholic education is not to teach students to submit to secular thinking or our “ever changing world,” as you’ve put it.
To bring this discussion back to the content of this article: hiring someone to curate the Mitty library’s “Transgender and Gender Identity Reading List” who clearly does not understand Catholic teachings on sexuality (revealed on a quick google/social media search), who claims on social media that she wants to “F___ Jesus,” and who on her social media page touts images of a “Nympho Librarian” is probably not a great way to promote the spiritual, physical or emotional development of students. This is the exact behavior that is welcomed in our society today, while our Catholic beliefs and values are being derided–contrary to the picture you’ve painted. The ultimate goal of a Catholic education should not be to support students’ future acceptance and success in our secular society as you’ve stated, it should be to support students’ future acceptance into the Kingdom of God! Even left of center Catholics will draw the line at promoting abortion, as our new President Latanya has actively and aggressively done with her non-profit. Empty attempts to “celebrate and affirm diversity” at the cost of student’s spiritual and physical well-being should not be welcome at any Catholic institution. Unfortunately as the previous commentator stated, your words feel like a canned PR note. The content of this article and the last article regarding Latanya Hilton shed light on the truth, which will always win. God bless!
Yeah, what “alum” quotes the whole school mission statement on her own initiative? Sounds like an attempt at damage control to me. Besides, people who have been in the workworld for more than five years know that mission statements are baloney. They’re just PR. The directors of a company or school do what they want despite the language in the mission statement.
Why did they hire a librarian that is from the American Atheists? (according to an athiest youtube channel) Were there no Catholics that applied? This is her first librarian job so how? why?
No one is trying to pick on her or anything. It is just when people make decisions that you question, you would like answers. Maybe she is converting. Maybe it was first come, first hired. Maybe the qualifications of the job were best met by her. It just causes concern. I hope if she is an atheist she comes to know Jesus and His Salvation.
Why did they hire an atheist librarian? Same reason why they hired an abortion and gay marriage supporting president. Because Mitty doesn’t prioritize hiring Catholics. In fact, they ask specific questions in interviews to screen out faithful Catholics who apply to work there.
And you know what? The atheist librarian fits in just fine at the school along with the atheist English teachers and atheist science teachers and communist religion teachers and LGBTQ modern language teachers.
If you google her, you’ll see that she contributed to the school’s employee diversity quota.
Misty, you didn’t say anything Catholic in your post. I would have liked to ask you how the Faith is practiced at Mitty When I look at Catholic schools I want to know:
How often is there a Mass?
Do they have other prayer times?
Do they teach Church teaching? Church history?
If there is discussion of current events, is there someone that can articulate the Church’s position? Are students being inoculated against the errors so prominent on the Internet and politics and others who would challenge them?
Since it is high school, are the vocations and how to live them being taught?
Are the Pope’s documents being given as assignments or as extra credit?
What is in the library is important to me. I actually rejected a Catholic school because of some books I saw in the library and the classroom library. I didn’t have to peruse every shelf. It was displayed prominently.
The school I rejected was going to be closed. It wasn’t sustaining itself and the diocese decided to pull the plug. There was an uproar mostly because people had no idea that would happen and they wanted a chance to turn the school around. I spoke up at the meeting and said the reason I had rejected the school was that it was really wasn’t very Catholic. Said it right to the bishop.
The bishop gave the school another chance. People worked hard and they saved their school. And now-it is a very Catholic school. Mass, rosary, Eucharistic adoration, Bible, very faithful.
I think the teachers were so busy trying to compete with the public schools or other private schools, they forgot that Catholic parents want their children taught Catholicism. That is why we pay the big money.
Before the Pandemic started, it was common in the library branches, in the children’s sections, to encourage plenty of “gender fluidity,” and “no gender role stereotypes.” Little toddler girls might be encouraged to play with trucks, and toddler boys might be encouraged to play with dolls. And young mothers might be scolded for encouraging little girls and boys to play games and play with toys that are traditionally for their gender. Many preschools do likewise.
One mixed-up young mother who had her second baby, a boy, bought sone dolls and a little girl’s kitchen set, for her first child, a boy, now to be a “big brother,” to celebrate the birth of his baby brother, and help the older boy “feel he was an important part of it, not excluded.” The poor “big brother” started acting out, “hating” his mom, and became a big, extremely aggressive behavior problem, at his preschool. The confused mom kept pushing “gender fluidity” and “little girl” stuff on her poor son, and he violently rebelled! So, she removed him from preschool, and took him to see a psychologist.
I am very disappointed that California Catholic Daily did not do any fact checking before posting this information.
Gender Spectrum has not provided any training at the school nor will they be. While Gender Spectrum was mentioned in a December committee meeting as being considered but upon review, the school decided not to use the organization. Instead I can personally attest that Fr. Joseph Benedict and a Catholic MD present the catholic teachings on gender identity to the staff in February and some staff members weren’t happy but most were glad to get the information as they want to do right by their students.
I hope it was a short presentation: male and female are the only two sexes, and a person’s sex is determined and fixed at conception. Anyone who thinks or wants to be a different sex than his birth, chromosomal, anatomical sex has a mental illness and should be directed to therapy. Okay, training over… time for an early lunch.
anonymous at 8:34,
Is what Rev. Benedict and a Catholic physician presented available for review by parents and local Catholics (who contribute to the support of the school)?
If so, please provide a link or other reference.
If not, why is it something they’d want to hide from parents, donors, Catholics and the public?
You criticized the California Catholic Daily about fact-checking. Can we get the facts about what was presented?
(In other words, are you open to being “fact-checked?”)
Also, what are your thoughts on the pro-abortion, pro-“gay marriage” president and the “nympho” librarian?
Thank you.
Or can he explain why Tiffani Lewis-Lockhart’s “Transgender and Gender Identity Reading List” contains multiple works by Diane Ehrensaft, a pediatric psychologist and board member of Gender Spectrum? Can he explain why Latanya Hilton works as a consultant for Public Rights Project? Public Rights Project is founded and run by Jill Habig. Jill Habig is the attorney, and former advisor to Kamala Harris, who orchestrated the prosecution of David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt and harassed Catholic hospitals which refused to provide abortions. Jill Habig is an “Ambassador” and her organization is touted on the Ambassador Circle’s page. Ms. Hilton’s connection to abortion is personal, professional, and financial. #DoMoreGood.
Hey anonymous, are the facts about the librarian correct? Yes, they are.
anonymous at 8:34, thank you for the information. I am glad that Catholic truth was presented and I am sorry to hear that some teachers weren’t happy about it. We are in a period of rapid social change and it can be difficult for those who want to keep up with the secular world to reconcile with the need for the Church to maintain Truth and stay the course on it’s God-given mission.
You know, Anonymous, one thing I love about my faith is that at the end of the day God knows where I stand and you do not. So please, continue to judge me all you want, I’ll be sure to say a prayer for you.
So your faith is simply self-affirming? Yep, that’s exactly what Mitty teaches about “faith”. Does your faith challenge you to question anything about the way you live or the opinions you hold? Does your faith call you to a deeper conversion or greater holiness or self-denial? Or does it simply “tell” you that God supports you no matter what?
Can we please discuss the nympho librarian curating transgender reading lists? One of her roles is to help students understand how to interact with various forms of media: books, social media, the internet. Do we want someone who is saying she wants to “F__ Jesus” on her social media page teaching our young adults? Is it acceptable for someone who is openly sex obsessed and was featured on an Atheist podcast to be be employed at a Catholic institution? Students could easily search her name and would be exposed to raw, vulgar sexual content. Virtually every job position in today’s age consists of a social media review for red flags. Based on a quick Google search of her name, I wouldn’t let her baby-sit my dog, let alone be the gateway for young adults into the world of literature and media. This is absolutely mind blowing! She needs to be fired.
Because the school is catholic in name only. Personnel is policy. There you have exactly a revelation of what Mitty is by the fact that such a person was hired. And you know what? They don’t care that we’re having this discussion. All they care about is touting how many athletic championships the school has accumulated.
Cal Catholic has the facts. The organization was *hired*/*retained* and the training was *scheduled*. Regardless, the fact that this organization was even considered by Latanya and Caputo is disturbing.
I presume you are a Diocesan priest. Beltramo and Bishop Cantu had to intervene to stop Gender Spectrum. Chew on that fact…
If I may offer some advice to any current Mitty students who might read this and are faithful Catholics.
Don’t be intimidated. Take all those things they teach you about “speaking truth to power”, “standing up for what you believe in”, “being a courageous agent of change” and turn them around on your teachers. Question them. Challenge them. Point out in the Bible and in the Catechism where the truth of Catholicism is expressed. Do not back down.
You’ll find that many of them might know less about Catholic faith than you do. Don’t let them intimidate you. If they were all that smart, they wouldn’t be teaching high school. They’re glorified community organizers.
I hope all this hand-wringing and pearl-clutching makes you people feel good, because it’s not going to effect any change at Mitty nor in the diocese.
You can bet the school won’t do anything. Unlike last summer when there was a news story in the Mercury News about black students alleging racism at the school, then the school swept into immediate damage-control mode and made sweeping changes to the diversity, equity and inclusion program and ultimately hired the president they did in response to the news story to prove that the school isn’t racist.
But this story? They don’t care about being perceived as a weakly Catholic school because that’s what they want to be and they will suffer no harm from the wider society for being weakly Catholic. They’re not going to all of a sudden start hiring devout Catholics or make big changes to what they teach in religion. They don’t care because the liberals in the Bay Area don’t care about being a fake Catholic school the way they care about allegations of institutional racism.
Today’s world has fallen into a new and extremely sinful, psuedo-intellectual, psuedo-religious, and psuedo-“progressive” Dark Ages, which Pope St. John Paul II dubbed the “Culture of Death.” It promises a false Salvation, based upon the individual becoming a false god to himself, with extremely sinful, deviant “personal choices” and “freedom to sin.” It is ruled by the Anti-Christ– obviously! –Satan, a false and deceitful “god,” and his evil minions.
The Anti-Christ preaches a false “hippie luv” and false “compassion” for criminal beliefs and behaviors, much like a teen “gang family” of young, ignorant, deviant criminals to “belong” to– or a Mafia-style “Crime Family.” A false “Kingdom of Heaven,” with a false “justice, equality, and happiness for all” is promised, sanctioning horrific, soul-destroying, evil sins, glorifying the ego and its childish demands.
Is this on topic?
Waste of time, Anonymous. Nonsense.
Mankind was originally created in the Divine Image of God. But mankind fell from grace, tragically, with the Fall of Adam and Eve. Christ, the True Messiah, came to offer us Salvation, and restore us as Children of God. He left His holy Catholic Church on earth when He died, with the sacred mission to combat evil, sin, and ignorance, and teach, preach, purify and sanctify us, in preparation for a complete restoration and re-union with God, together with all the Saints, in a beautiful, glorious, Eternal Life, in Heaven!
The bishop and his Catholic educators obviously do not have a love of Christ and His Church, nor do they have a zeal for souls, eager to evangelize, and bring souls to Our Lord, and work with them, leading them in the Faith, transforming their lives, and transform the world, in Christ! Today, Fri. June 11, is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! It is time for a big change, a big conversion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for all of these people, who are obviously trapped and dying in the jaws of Satan, leading lives of horrific mortal sin, ignorance, and Godless delusions.
Just remember that those who run the school lie about what they do.
This has been an interesting thread. I passed it along to a friend who is a San Jose priest. He is quite familiar with the scandal. Apparently a number of the priests raised a stink about the hires at Mitty but were given the “What I have written, I have written” treatment from the bishop.
That is so sad.
Will these priests tell the truth about Mitty HIgh School to their parishioners, so that families will know what they’re getting and make an informed choice?
Or, will these priests be complicit in keeping what happens there secret?
We all know how tragic coverups by clergy are.
And, then, will they act surprised at the scandalous, deviant sexual behavior when it becomes public at some point in time?
They should be good shepherds and warn their flocks of the dangerous wolves in Catholic clothing.
If the bishop and some of their fellow priests object to that, they can point out that all they did was tell the truth, Mitty decided to promote perversity.
Are they supposed to be dishonest with their parishioners?
How many vocations to the priesthood have come out of Mitty high school?
Zero. Even the local Jesuit school has more than zero.
